Sins: Rebellion v1.79 Beta Begins

Opt-In via Steam

Ironclad Games and Stardock Entertainment are pleased to announce the start of an opt-in BETA for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion today. Available as an opt-in via Steam, the v1.79 beta updates the game's graphics shader system and contains several balance changes.

Some balance stuff mostly. I'll likely add it into the 1.79 beta test next week if it feels good.

Could we possibly get a fix for the arbitrary limit on jumping starbases? You know, where the planet entity may have a limit of 2 or more starbases, however if one is already there another cannot jump in regardless of the grav well limit.

No, this is hardcoded.

Will we ever see a reversing of that? It was a failed attempt at balance after all...

In your opinion.

Well, it was initiated to balance the VR Starbase, but ultimately it did not, thus the recent changes requiring them to use phase nodes which has a more profound effect. Therefore it was a failed attempt because it did not balance VR and just messed with an otherwise excellent resource for modders.

It might be unlikely since the team doesnt really care about it I guess, but it's something I really need and want.I'd rather not have to roll back versions to make my mod work right because most people don't have access to the retail version of Rebellion.
